About
Ibi Jessica Jeremiah is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a credential for trained, state-licensed mental health professionals. She brings an authentic, values-driven presence to therapy and aims to show up as a real person in the room, grounded in love and a clear-eyed understanding of how challenging the world can be. As a Black, queer, polyamorous mother and creative, she integrates lived experience with clinical skill to support people who may feel unseen or overburdened by systems, stressors, and expectations.
Her work is especially supportive for creatives, BIPOC clients, and people navigating anxiety and depression, including those who want a therapist who can relate to the ongoing process of growth. She draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and pairs them with body-based (somatic) practices and sound bowl healing to help clients connect what they think and feel with what they experience in their bodies, in practical and holistic ways. Her style is culturally grounded, modern, and deeply human, with a commitment to meeting each person where they are.
In addition to individual therapy, she offers couples, family, and group work. Her professional background includes maternal and child health, homeless youth and families, TBI, HIV, and community mental health, which informs her understanding of complex systems and the real-life challenges clients face. Outside of sessions, she stays connected to her own life as a mom, a friend, an athlete, and a maker, and she brings that grounded perspective into the therapeutic space.

Evidence-Based Support, Grounded in Body and Culture
Ibi Jessica Jeremiah, LCSW, uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and the impact of trauma. Evidence-based therapy focuses on practical skills and structured strategies that can make it easier to notice patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and build steadier coping tools over time.She also incorporates somatic techniques, which invite attention to the body’s signals like tension, breath, and energy. This approach can be especially helpful when emotions feel stuck, overwhelming, or hard to name, and it can support clients who want a more grounded, whole-person way to process life experiences. When appropriate, she may integrate sound bowl healing as a calming, restorative practice that can complement talk therapy and help clients reconnect with themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Therapy with her is collaborative, with ongoing conversation about what feels helpful, what is not working, and how to align the process with each client’s goals, needs, and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent, whether sessions happen by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can fit busy schedules, reduce travel time, and support clients in Illinois and internationally.
